I Dream an Ocean

I dream an ocean of relief when I see you reaching out for me
 Your fingers reaching for my fingers as the riptide gleams

But I know it’s not, not the way you feel and I
 Know I’m not what you thought you needed
 But I could swear I saw in your eyes
 More than a trick of the light
 Guess you were just one more drop into the blue

Now we’re running through my empty house
 It’s much bigger than I remember now
 Hallway after hallway, endless walls without rooms
 You rest your hand upon my shoulder
 In a way that reminds me of my father
 And say you’ll lead the way, you’ll never leave me alone 

But I know it’s not, not the way you feel and I
 Know I’m not what you thought you needed
 But I could swear I saw in your eyes
 More than a trick of the light
 Guess you were just one more drop into the blue
